Hi
everyone! Thank you so much for all your beautiful HOLIDAY INSPIRED challenge
entries. We loved all your beautiful creations using your favorite products from
7 Kids College Fund! It's always fun to have as many entries as we did this time
with an open challenge.

Before
we get to the winners & new challenge, I want to remind you we are looking
for GUEST DESIGNERS. If you want to be selected, please place GDT after your
name in the link tool AND participate in 1 OR BOTH challenges for the month. Our
challenges run two weeks so we have 2 challenges each month. We will announce
the Guest Designer in the first challenge of the next month from those that
participated in the previous month.

So,
what does being a guest designer mean? Well, you will receive a $25 gift
certificate to use in the 7 Kids College Fund store & create samples for 1
month of challenges!!! How cool is that?!

All of
our current rules for challenges still apply so please make sure you are using a
stamp that7 Kids College Fund currently carries in order to be considered for
the GDT spot! We will choose one new guest designer each month so continue to
play along with us to be considered. So, spread the news and get crafty! We LOVE
to see what YOU create for our challenges!!!

So, are
you ready for our challenge this week?! As Christmas and New Year quckly approach, we're thinking craft time is becoming fastly scarce!! So, this week we're letting loose for ANYTHING GOES - they can be cards, packaging, home decor, altered projects, etc. So, if you manage to make something just for you in between shopping, cooking, baking & wrapping presents, we hope to see you join us! Of course, we
still want to see what you make using stamps carried in 7 Kids College Fund store - new
arrivals daily!

Now....it's your turn! Just create your
own little masterpiece (card, 3-D project, etc.) using images and products
from 7 Kids College Fund and following
this fortnight's "ANYTHING GOES"
theme!

We are making our final selections (trying to narrow it down) for our new 2013 Jan - Jun Design Team today! We want to thank everyone who applied, you didn't make it easy on us as we would love to have you all. We'll be contacting everyone tomorrow and announcing it on our Store Blog Friday!

And...one final
reminder...Please make sure you follow the Challenge
Rules listed over there in the sidebar to be eligible for the prize and to be
considered for the "Top 3" award! We also have a special request from the design
team to please turn off word verification (we have a tip on our side bar on how
to prevent spam but still let people easily leave a comment without word
verification.) Thank you!

Thanks so much for joining
us...now, let the crafting commence!! The linky tool will close Jan 1, 2013 at noon
pst.
